Installation Instructions

*NOTE* READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL FILTER
There are no tools required to install, maintain or operate the Fluval system.
DO NOT PLUG IN FILTER UNTIL UNIT IS FILLED WITH WATER (see step 30).
Recommendation: Top up water in aquarium before commencing.
Assembly
(*All letter references apply to front cover drawings)
1) Verify that all components are present. (Refer to front cover).
2) Install feet. – Press one foot (A) into each of the four corners at
the bottom of the filter case.
PREPARING THE FILTER
3) Remove Motor Housing (B) from filter case.
4) Remove Foam Screen Frame (C) and Media Baskets (D) from filter case.
5 Rinse both sides of the Foam Screen Frame (C) under tap water
to remove any possible contaminants before initial use.
6 Replace Foam Screen Frame (C) in filter case. Refer to drawing for
proper placement.
7) Fill provided media in
appropriate media baskets.
(See inside front cover for
recommended placement). Remove
plastic bags from filter media
before placing them (do not
remove carbon from porous bags).
NOTE: The media placement
indicated on the front cover of the
booklet is only a recommendation.
For optimum media efficiency,
read "Filter Media" section.
8 Rinse all media under tap water to remove any dust
or debris before initial use.
9) Replace Media Baskets (D) in filter case and replace
media basket cover (F).
10 Remove Seal Ring (G) from plastic bag. To ensure
proper closure of unit, make sure Seal Ring is wet before
placing it in channel around base of Motor Housing (B).
11 Install Impeller Cover (X) on underside of Motor
Housing (B) on top of Impeller. Squeeze tabs (see
drawing) to lock in place with a slight "click".
NOTE: Do not fill the canister with water prior
to replacing the motor housing onto the filter
case. The motor housing incorporates a
self-priming feature that will allow water to
be siphoned into the canister. (See #30).
12 Replace Motor Housing (B) onto Filter Case
(U). Align Motor Housing with filter case and
push down to assure a tight, secure fit. Make
sure the power cord is properly aligned with
the indentation of the filter case. Then lock in place, one side at a time, with Lift Lock Clamps (H) (see
12b). If the unit does not close properly, verify that all inside components were placed correctly.
INSTALLING THE FILTER
FILTER MUST NEVER BE INSTALLED ABOVE WATER LEVEL.
13) Location – Place the unit in its final position before attaching hosing. The filter is best located beneath
the aquarium. Since the filter uses gravity-feed, ensure the filter is stationed below the water level of the aquarium.
NOTE: The distance between the bottom of the filter and the maximum water level must not exceed
4.5 ft (1 .40 meters).
14 Insert the Aqua Stop (I) into Motor Housing (B) and push down the blue lever to lock the Aqua Stop in place. Open the
valves by pushing down the grey lever in order to let water flow to and from the canister. Be sure that the valves are fully
open before operating the unit.
IMPORTANT: Refer to front cover
for component identification.
